A Remember---I Remember.
By W. H. NEWELL.
I remember---I remember
The day that first we m t,
Yes! could I live forever,
I never should forget.
I gazed upon her lovely flee,
And on her fairy Corm,
And I never dreamed ot guile within
That heaving bosom warm.
1 remember---I remember
When I asked her to be mine,
She, blushing, fondly whispered,
Thine! thine!—l'm only thine!"
I pressed her to my bosom,
Ands deemed that I was loved :
But, oh! the bitter, bitter truth
That after years have proved!
She left me for another!
Oh, God! I canr.ut speak!
My brain, it whirls—my eyes grow dim—
My heart is faint 0 weak.
Yes, yes, she coldlyAilke the words,
She said that we must part :
A spell came o'er me ; bue it passed•••
And left a breaking heart!

Is there nn Unbeliever.
BY TIIOMAS li. BAYLEY,
Is there an unbeliever ?
One man who walks the earth,
And madly doubts that Providence
Waleled o'er him at his birth
He robs mankind for ever
01 hope beyond the tomb,
What gives he as a recompence
The brute's unhallowed doom?
In manhood's loftiest nour,
In health, and strength and pt ide,
0 lead his steps through alleys green,
Where rills 'mid cowslips glide ;
Climb Nature's granite tower,
Where man h,tth rarely trod ;
And will he then, in such a scene,
•
Deny there is a God?
Yes! the proud heart will ever
Prompt the false tongue's reply !
An Oinnipresent Providence
Still madly he'll deny ;
But see the unbeliever
Sinking in deeth's decay ;
And hear the cry of penitence;
He never knri,'d to pray!

Dangers of Electioneering.
The Picayune rejoices in the possession
of a live Yankee, as a correspondent, who
listing wanderod as far south as Louisiana,
peddling notions, has settled down sotne•
where in the Caddo county, or some other
undiscovered region of that State, and
he concluded to run for Congress. The
following extract of a letter to the editor
of the Picayune, describing one of his
electioneering tours, is a specimen of the
luck he had in the delightful bosibess:
tt Wall, I put up with a first rate good
natured old feller, that l met in the bil
liard room, and when we got to his house
'Was just dark. We went, in and was
introduced to his wife, a line, fat woman
that looked as it she got fat on !Lan, her
face wise full of tun. Alter a while niter
I talked 'bout my little gal, and about the
garden and so on, in come three or four
little children, lain and skipping along ,
as merry as crickets. There war'nt no'

looking fellers, and I started for the sail.

Smith, Sir."
" And what's your name?" says I to
the next.
" Bob Smith, SirS"
"The next said his name was Bill
Smith," and the fourth," Tommy Smith,"
Widl, I got 'em on my knees and kissed
'cm over and over again, and gir 'em a
lot of sugar midi', and old Mrs. Smith
was so tickled that she tailed all the time.
Mister Smith looked on, but didn't say
much. " Why," save I, "Mrs. Smith,
would'nt take a good deal fur them four
boys if I had em—they're so beautiful and
sprightly." •
" Na," says she, laffin, " I set a good
deal by 'em, but we spile 'eni too much."
"0 no," says I, " they're rani well
behaved children ; and by grashus," says
pretending to be startled with a sudden
idea, " what strikin' resemblance 'tweet]
them boys and their father!" and looked
at Mr. Smith; I never did see within'

I, tapping the oldest one on the pate. I
tho't Mrs. Sinith would have died lading
her arms fell down by her side, and her
head fell back, and she shook the hull

. "Do sou think so, Curnel Jones?"
says she, and looked towards Mr. Smith,
and I thought she'd gone oft' in a fit.

" I hint joking at all," says 1, " they're

Just then a gal brought in a light, and
I'll be darned if the little brats did'nt
turn out to be mulattoes every one of 'em,
and their heads as curly as the blackest
niggers!! Mister and Mrs. Smith never
had no children, and they sort o' petted
them little niggers fur play things! I
never felt so streaked in all my life as I
did when I see how things stood. If I
had'nt kissed the little nasty things, I
could a got over it, but kissen on 'em

was soft soaping on 'em as I thought all

i Bashful Lover.
A Green Mountain boy fell in WIT with
a very pretty girl and _determined to
court her." To that end he dressed
himself in his "Sunday.go-to-meetings,"
went to her father's house and found her
" how d'ye du," says Jonathan.
.‘ I'm nicely—take a cheer, Jonathan,"
says the girl.
Jonathan took a chair, and seated him•
self in the farthest corner of the room as
though beauty was a thing to be feared
rather than loved.
Aint you cold—hadn't you better sit
up to the fire,' says Sally, supposing he
would of course, if he was going to make
love at all, do so in a proper manner.
.
No, I thankee, I reckon I'm comfor.
table," reform's Jonathan.
"How is your marm," said Sally.
• " Well, she's complainin' a leetle,"
said Jonathan. Here a pausa of ten min
utes ensued, during which time Jonathan
amused himself by whittling a stick.
" There's nothin, new up year way is
there," said Sally, which Jonathan might
understand as applying to his present
situation, or to his father's domicil.
I. Here? oh—yes, you mean to hum;
well no--that is cis—our spotted cow's
got a calf!" sail Jonathan.
Sally would undoubtedly have laughed
at this queer piece of information, only
she was too much vexed at the bashful.
ness of the speaker. At length after a •
nother protracted silence, Sally got up a
very small editien of a scream, and in a
loud voice exclaimed, " Let me done!"
4. Why," says Jonathan, dropping his
knife and stick in astonishment, " why,
1 aint a touching on ye."
"Nell," says Sally, in a voice which
might be indicative of fear, but sounded
very like a request. " Well, aint you
via' la"
Jonathan thought a moment of this
equivocal reply, and then after placing
his knife in his pocket, and blowing his
nose, he drew his chair by the side of
pretty Sally, gently encircled her waist
and—the next week they were married.

exclaimed when he felt a desire to marry.
He made the same exclamation alter mar

lIIINTING'DON, PENNSYVANIA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1843.
Cure for Founder.
The following speedy cure for a foun
dered horse, is from the South-western
Farmer :
As soon as you find your horse is foun
dered, bleed hinn in the neck in proportion
to the greatness of the founder. In ex
treme cases, you may bleed him as long
as he can stand up. Then draw his
head up as common in drenching, and with
a spoon put far back on his tongue strong
salt, until you get him to swallow one
pint. Be careful not to let hint drink too
touch. Then anoint around the edges
of his hoofs with spirits of turpentine, and
your horse will be well in one hour.
A founder pervades every part of the
system of a hm'se. The phlegms arrest
it from the blood ; the salt arrests it from
the feet and limbs.
I once rode a hired horse 90 miles in
two days. returning him at night the se•
cowl day; and his owner• would not have
known that he had been foundered if I
had not told him, and his founder was
one of the deepest kind.
I once, in a travel of 700 miles, foun
dered my horse three times, and I do not
think that ni) journey was retarded more
than one day by the misfortune, having in
all the cases observed and practised the
above prescription. I have known a
foundered horse turned in at night on
green feed. All founders must be atten•
ded to immediately.
Nicely Caught.
"Come here, Sally, my love—now tell
me what belt means,'
"Don't know, tnam."
What—ehl—la: what ignorant chil
dren. Take your finger out of your
mouth—there— well—now, Sally, what's
put around your waist every day ? Come
now, look at me—speak out—pstiaw, what
are you looking so sheepish furl Tell me,
now.,,
',Oh! Mrs. Boozle, I didn't think you

TAKE MC OUT !- A lady from some
where down east, visited the Chatham
theatre last week. She was delighted
with the performance ; the only alloy to
her pleasure being the fear that her friends
to hum would not think her conduct, in
visiting such a place of amusement,
quite
,correct. When the rope dancing
commenced, she turned as red as a pit).

firolher and Sider.—As fothers love
their daughters better than sons, and mo
thers love their sons better than daugh
ters, so do sisters feel towards brothers a
more constant attachment than towards
each other. None of the little vanities,
heart burning jealousies, that, alas for
poor human nature ate but too apt to
spring up in female hearts, can arise be
tween brother and sister; each is proud of
the success of the other, because it cannot
interfere with self—nay, on the contrary,
is flattering to self. Hence if there be a
band of family union more free from all
the selfish blots that Interrupt all others,
it is that which exists between an affec
tionate sister and brother.
